I am doing a little catch up today so I am posting a few "days" today. This layout was designed by Jennifer Smith for an Operation Smile fundraiser and I do believe was my favorite of the album. I love the wintery colors and snowflakes mixed with the wintery flowers - combined they make for a beautiful layout!
The snowflakes were cut out on the Cricut and both sides of colors were used to show more of the colors. Each snowflake, piece of cardstock, and patterned paper, were lightly ink distressed with Charcoal ink. Some are adhered flat, and others with Thin 3-d Foam tape to give more depth. The title "Beautiful" is a piece of chipboard, however I opted to use Thin 3-d Foam tape cut in half width wise to pop the title up - I loved the difference a little foam tape will make!
The journaling lines are stamped with a border stamp but also could be hand drawn -- I just don't have that stable of a hand. For the kits, these are pre-stamped. If you prefer to not have the lines, or hand journal them, simply flip the base over and use the blank side.
The splatter effect was created by using a Clear Shimmer Brush and the grey palette of the watercolors. To create it, pick up some of the watercolors on the brush and gently tap on your finger. Make sure to cover areas that you don't want to be splatter! lol - yes, I learned this from experience!
The foam arrow stickers add a cute little accent to the layout. The Ballerina ones are used on the left page as "bullet points" and the blue ones were used on the pennant as accents.
